Welcome to our BONUS episode of Boob to Food the Podcast - with an exciting announcement and introduction to our newest team member, paediatric occupational therapist Rachael Smith. This episode is full of insights and creative tips to help your family find joy at the dinner table.
Rachael is a mum to her daughter Olive, a Paediatric Occupational Therapist, and the owner of Therapy Time, a private practice based in Brisbane.
Even before having her own family, she has always been passionate about taking a big picture approach to child development. Rachael strongly believes that what we eat has a huge impact on everything and sees this everyday in her clinical practice (and at home).
Meal times are a big deal for our little ones, and they require a lot of sensory, fine motor, oral motor, and behavioural skills. With her gentle, kind and empowering approach Rachael equips parents with a toolkit full of responsive, evidence-based and family-centered strategies.
In this podcast we cover:
What is particular eating and how do we know if what our child is exhibiting is normal or a red flag?What age can we expect 'fussy eating' or particular eating to start (and finish?!)Top tips for reducing the likelihood that a child will become a fussy eater? The division of responsibility and other helpful strategies for reducing mealtime anxiety for both parents and childrenand so much more.
